Title: Thread checking
Inventor: JONATHAN SILVA PEDREIRA
IPC: G01B21/04
Filed: 2017-11-30
Abstract: A method of checking whether a thread produced on a workpiece conforms to a target thread. The method comprises determining a three dimensional position of a predefined feature of the thread on the workpiece; comparing the determined 3D position of the predefined feature with reference data in order to determine a deviation, if any, of the thread on the workpiece from the target thread; and providing an output indicating the determined deviation. The reference data may define a 3D position of an equivalent feature on the target thread. The deviation may be determined from the difference between the measured 3D position of the feature and 3D position of the equivalent feature in the reference data. The predefined feature may comprise a stationary point of a thread or a point equidistant from two opposing thread flanks. The output may be used to set a start position and orientation of a thread producing tool relative to a further workpiece. The workpiece may be a engine bore for a spark plug. The target thread may be designed to retain the spark plug with a predefined orientation when screwed to a predefined tightness.

Title: Method for self-checkout with a mobile device
Inventor: SAMUEL JOHN VON BOSE
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2011-10-12
Abstract: A method for purchasing an item using a mobile device comprises executing a first application on a server and receiving at the server from a mobile device identification information for each item to be purchased. A second application is executed in response to receiving the identification information. The server creates an order associated with the session including item information based upon the received information and dynamically generates a unique identifier representing the order. The unique ID is stored in a state container for later retrieval. Item information is transmitted to the mobile device including a virtual shopping cart that is representative of the stored order, accessible on the mobile device, and associated with an optical machine readable representation dynamically generated by the mobile device to include the unique ID. A terminal scans the machine readable representation and extracts the unique ID which it uses to retrieve the order information from the server for completion at the terminal.
